At Fresh Start Bookkeeping, we believe numbers tell a story and we’re here to help you write a better one.
Founded by Alexandra Mosquera Salazar, a passionate and detail-oriented bookkeeper with years of experience in one of Canada’s leading accounting firms, Fresh Start was born out of a desire to do things differently.

That’s why we specialize in helping entrepreneurs and small business owners get back on track, whether it’s cleaning up messy books, transitioning to cloud software like QuickBooks Online, or simply creating clarity with monthly reports that make sense.
We offer services in both English and Spanish, so you can feel confident and understood every step of the way.
